I wanted to see what the problem and cause was. So, having nothing better to do, I took the assembly apart... Note the discoloration. These coils are mass produced and someone's quality control (if they have one) didn't show up. Ford apparently got away with a recall.

This is the second part: We pulled the evaporator housing assembly, after removing a couple of 10mm screws. The new evaporator housing assembly did not come with the blower motor. Also, there is two upper damper actuators, a square heater resistor, wiring harness, and a cold air sensor that...

This is part 1 from my experience this weekend: To prepare, make sure you have all the correct parts. Get an O ring kit and a new cabin filter. Maybe some new motor coolant (antifreeze). A worktable is handy. The car will need to be lifted, to access the shifter cable and connectors. It is a...

My wife and I went to watch a friend and his brother test their barely street legal car on a drag strip. The brother rode his motorcycle and had too many of a product out of St. Louis. I drove the car to their house with the passed out passenger....

I don't envy you guys up north with the snow and ice. It's basically monsoon season around here. We had roughly 12" of rain within a couple of days recently, so certain roads have to be avoided or risk getting flooded out.

I'm told a black Dark Horse will be listed soon at a local dealership. It was traded in, has less than 500 miles, automatic, track pack and Recaro seats. I don't know what the price will be, nor why it was traded in.

Would interstate entrance ramp in signals fall under the category of useless?

Many of us are lucky to have drag strips or road course tracks nearby. There's 2 quarter mile strips and 2 road course tracks within an hour or so within distance of my home. Those of us who have strips or track nearby our homes, please support them or we could end up like those who posted on...

Mine's a 2015, almost 75k miles, no drivetrain issues. My a/c stopped cooling awhile back, so I recovered the R-134a refrigerant, evacuated the system, then recharged it with fresh/new refrigerant. Works fine now. I understand there's an issue with the evaporator coil leaking, but I was unable...

When shopping for my car, white was one of the colors I narrowed down to. I had a white 1972 mustang with light blue stripes, accented with red pinstripes and it cleaned up well. You may want to check out the 1971-1973 Mach 1's and get an idea of the stripes Ford used. Your hood is similar in...

Body shop, like the others say. As far as male/female relationships: I've been with my wife 35 years, and I can't give you much advice. It's all about compromise and forgiveness. But, you hold the aces now!

Yeah, why not? We go through life once. Go for it!

My rate increase wasn't too bad. However, I live in one of the highest rates states. The politicians always campaign they will get rates dropped, but it never happens. Too much money gets passed off under the table, which is probably why the rates are high. Many people I know have camps in...

My '72 had a high voltage Accel coil and an Accel dual point distributer. Setting the points wasn't too bad with the distributer located at the front of the engine. I had a chrome Sears Penske timing light that had a short in it, and had to wear heavy leather gloves to set the ignition timing or...

I didn't want to stray too far off the OP's subject, but if you take the EPA's certification courses and tests for handling refrigerants, you go along..... I thought about the science comment I wrote, and started to put the word science in quotation marks.

After raising a wife and 2 sons, having to put aside my cars in order to do such, I bought my '15. I drove it from North Carolina to my house. It took a few driving lessons to get used to having real power once again. I drove the wife's Jeep Cherokees, which actually had some get up and go, and...

R-12 is gone, mainly because of the high hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) contents. R-123 was a replacement for certain low pressure refrigeration water chillers, such as R-11. According to the SDS sheet, it could cause mutation in lab mice. R-11 was a great parts cleaner, but like R-12, R-500, and...

Overcharging any air conditioning system is possible. A tag on the hood, shows the proper charge of R-134a. I'm surprised the EPA hasn't began to require proper certifications to buy refrigerant in the auto parts stores, but I'm sure that's coming. Also, don't get caught blowing off refrigerant...

Many things could be the problem. I've read that Mustangs had evaporator (that's the cooling coil) issues or rather small refrigerant leaks. My car had the same symptoms the OP stated. Being a former HVAC/R tech, I have all the tools needed and diagnosed my issue. I checked the pressure switches...

Hang in there, I know all about the traffic here. I recently moved to the parish just east of Baton Rouge and the drivers here are, let's say interesting. Let me know if you need something.
